Billed by Warner Bros as the “final chapter” of Batman: Arkham City, the DLC places you in the virtual shoes of the Dark Knight and his trusty sidekick Robin, as they attempt to they down the crazy Harley Quinn.

The DLC will be included in the Batman: Arkham City Game of the Year Edition, scheduled to be released in the UK on September 7th. If you already own Arkham City, you’ll be able to download Harley Quinn’s Revenge from May 29th via the PlayStation Network (£6.49) and Xbox LIVE (800 Microsoft Points).

We can’t wait to get our hands on this DLC. How about you guys? Check out the trailer below (subtitled in Italian), and be sure to let us know what you think.

The screenshot showcases what seems like a Dodge Viper zooming down the open road with rock formations in the background, suggesting a move away from the circuit based racing featured in Forza Motorsport.

Even the box art looks lovely, again suggesting a more open and possibly “festival” feel to the racing, if the bright lights behind the vehicle are anything to go by.

What do you guys think? Would a more open feel to racing tickle your fancy? Let us know via the comments section below.

In the meantime, why not watch the debut trailer and let us know what you’d like to see from the new one.

Just like previous Lost Planet titles, EX Troopers focuses on the battle between the snow pirates and Akrid. However, the anime style visuals and the new-kid-at-a-new-school premise differentiate it from other entries in the series.

It actually kind of reminds us of the upcoming PlayStation Vita title, Gravity Rush. Check out the colourful trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think.
